Vladimir Zorich
Vladimir Antonovich Zorich (Russian: Владимир Антонович Зорич; 16 December 1937 – 14 August 2023) was a Soviet and Russian mathematician. He was the author of the textbook "Mathematical Analysis" for students of mathematical and physical specialties of higher education, which was reprinted several times and translated into many languages. Scientific career Zorich was an expert in various fields of mathematical analysis, conformal geometry, and the theory of quasi-conformal mappings. He graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at the Moscow State University in 1960. In 1963 he graduated from the faculty's graduate school (Department of Theory of Functions and Functional Analysis) and defended his thesis "Compliance boundaries for some classes of mappings in space", which was noted as outstanding. In 1969 he defended his doctoral thesis "Global reversibility of quasi-conformal mappings of space". Zorich taught at the Department of Mathematic ...

Academic Staff Of Moscow State University
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of tertiary education. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 386 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. The Royal Spanish Academy defines academy as scientific, literary or artistic society established with public authority and as a teaching establishment, public or private, of a professional, artistic, technical or simply practical nature. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

MSU Faculty Of Mechanics And Mathematics
The MSU Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics () is a faculty of Moscow State University. History Although lectures in mathematics had been delivered since Moscow State University was founded in 1755, the mathematical and physical department was founded only in 1804. The Mathematics and Mechanics Department was founded on 1 May 1933 and comprised mathematics, mechanics and astronomy departments (the latter passed to the Physics Department in 1956). In 1953 the department moved to a new building on the Sparrow Hills and the current division in mathematics and mechanics branches was settled. In 1970, the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics broke off the department due to the research in computer science. A 2014 article entitled "Math as a tool of anti-semitism" in '' The Mathematics Enthusiast'' discussed antisemitism in the Moscow State University’s Department of Mathematics during the 1970s and 1980s. Current state Today the Department comprises 26 chairs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quasi-conformal Mappings
In mathematical complex analysis, a quasiconformal mapping is a (weakly differentiable) homeomorphism between plane domains which to first order takes small circles to small ellipses of bounded eccentricity. Quasiconformal mappings are a generalization of conformal mappings that permit the bounded distortion of angles locally. Quasiconformal mappings were introduced by and named by , Intuitively, let ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism between open sets in the plane. If ''f'' is continuously differentiable, it is ''K''-quasiconformal if, at every point, its derivative maps circles to ellipses with the ratio of the major to minor axis bounded by ''K''. Definition Suppose ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ where ''D'' and ''D''′ are two domains in C. There are a variety of equivalent definitions, depending on the required smoothness of ''f''. If ''f'' is assumed to have continuous partial derivatives, then ''f'' is quasiconformal pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conformal Geometry
In mathematics, conformal geometry is the study of the set of angle-preserving ( conformal) transformations on a space. In a real two dimensional space, conformal geometry is precisely the geometry of Riemann surfaces. In space higher than two dimensions, conformal geometry may refer either to the study of conformal transformations of what are called "flat spaces" (such as Euclidean spaces or spheres), or to the study of conformal manifolds which are Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with a class of metrics that are defined up to scale. Study of the flat structures is sometimes termed Möbius geometry, and is a type of Klein geometry. Conformal manifolds A conformal manifold is a Riemannian manifold (or pseudo-Riemannian manifold) equipped with an equivalence class of metric tensors, in which two metrics ''g'' and ''h'' are equivalent if and only if :h = \lambda^2 g , where ''λ'' is a real-valued smooth function defined on the manifold and is called the conformal fa ...
